Dear Angela

Just words and memories

                     


                                 Dear Angela

A pretty girl sat with me by the sea and she whispered to me. "You know who I'm and what I do. And you stayed with me. All I know is dirty stories and dead-ends. No-one wants a use and abuse woman. I'm twenty years old and I have nothing left."

I brought her up and I held her tightly. Me and my Angela. We danced by the Sea-side Pacific ocean and  I told her.   Baby, honey and my sweetheart. No-one is clean. Life is hard and all of us must taste dirt and disappointment. Life make us bleed and we will find more darkness than light."

Dear Angela smiled and she whispered to my wanting ear. " Dear Johnnie. You make me feel so beautiful and so worthwhile. You treat me like we are first love and the last love. When you look at me. I feel needed and wanted. Johnnie, can broke-down life find a happy place again?

We stopped dancing and we watched the Pacific ocean. I brought her closer and I kissed her. I told her. Life is like the sea. Moving, flowing and ever-changing. We are always learning my dear Angela. All we can do is grasp at love when she is near. Make the good days and nights never-end. We must forget the bad days and seek kind people, who love us for who we are.

Soft tears fall from her eyes and she asked me. "Please stay with me Johnnie awhile. Maybe I will smile for real and show real face again. I need someone to love me."

I  kissed her forehead, face-cheeks and lips.  I whispered. You are the place I need to be my Angela.

I probably said this on my last review of you, but this is one of your best that I've read so far. I very much relate to the way Angela is feeling down on herself & how much in life we need an advocate to convince us out of our low self-esteem. You are so right, we are all "used up" in many ways, so it's nothing to be ashamed of. Great uplifting message for those who are feeling down on themselves.

Thank you dear friend and you are right. We need people near. Who make us feel worthwhile.

Now this IS a 'tear jerker' of a piece. So generous and full of humanity. You tell the whole story of pain and of salvation in a few lines. Worthy!

Wow, John! This poem is more than just words. It's absolutely beautiful. So sweet and romantic. I found some lines that I really love; "I told her. Life is like the sea. Moving, flowing and ever-changing." Amazing work :)

Life is like the sea. Moving, flowing and ever-changing

Your words made me think of an ocean. Vast, stormy and changing colours. And we its creatures, tossed upon its will, cleansed by love, adrift on hope.

A very romantic story and touching me very much. Appreciated so much sir.

very romantic ..tugs me ol' heart strings ...sometimes we can pull someone up onto the chair with us ..but not usually ..most times the other will pull us off the chair .. i love this scene you have painted with such simple conversational style ..of course it is the Pacific ... the East Coast is too fraught with cold and rocks ;) the tenderness of need and giving is what appeals to me the most in this and i end up hoping the best for your couple .. the acknowledgement of the moment and acceptance that it may be all they have is pretty real ..reminds me of the "love the one your with" song ;)
